((After this and this and this.))

Aya PINpoints them to the Kitten in the House. She opens the door to Kakyou's rooms.

Aya-nii freezes in the process of standing up. He has a crumpled piece of paper in his hand which he just removed from the trash.

Surprise, Yohji, your watch is becoming less uneventful now. The last living guard is stumbling/crawling down the hall. His left eye is a bleeding ruin, and he is trying to get to the exit. Away from the slaughter this has become.

[feline_casanova]

::Stumbling and missing an eye? Hell, this guy's someone Yohji can actually deal with on his own. If he braces himself between the water fountain and this potted fern for leverage, can he can he get his wire around the guard's neck?::

[broken_dreaming]

Given that the man is half-blind, in agony, and bleeding a lot? Yes, probably.

[feline_casanova]

::It's almost too easy, really. Getting the leverage to pull the wire taught takes a little more doing, and Yohji's going to have the imprint of a water fountain on his hip for a few days, but it's a small price for seeing the guard gasp desperately for air. Die, bastard.::

[broken_dreaming]

Kakyou makes a soft sound of protest at Aya-nii's disappearance. But he can't sustain the concentration for anything more than that. He sinks to the floor slowly, blinking at Aya-chan a little. His eyes cloud over as he stops struggling and finally lets the drug take him.

[dream_departed]

Aya doesn't know how injured Kakyou might be, so she doesn't attempt to move him just yet. She has the first aide kit sitting near her. When she has cleaned Kakyou enough to make it obvious most of the blood isn't his, she speaks calmly to him.

“Kakyou, I need you to walk with me to the bed. I'll hold you up, but I don't think I can carry you.” She pauses. “My brother will be very angry when he comes back and sees you on the floor.”

[broken_dreaming]

Kakyou hums softly to himself as she cleans the blood away. He takes in what she says with a distant, dreamy look, then holds his hands out.

"Can you help me stand up?"

[dream_departed]

Aya slides down to put her arm around his waist. She tries to pull him up and drunk-walk him to the bed.

She had changed his bedsheets while she was waiting for them to return even though she guessed they would just end up bloodied.

After getting word that Yohji is leaving, Aya leaves Schuldig to his fun and PINpoints back to the Kitten.

[x_ginta_x]

Ginta had been making a trip to the dumpster behind the Kitten to dispose of the bit of cloth he had been toting around. Aya-san is the first person he sees when he walks through the door to the upstair rooms and he smiles, glad to see another safely back.

"Hey, Aya-san. I guess all the loose ends are tied up, hm?"

[sinofsurviving]

Aya isn't sure whether to be pleased or disturbed that Ginta can be so cavalier about killing people.

"Yes. Schuldig is taking care of a few minor details."

He tilts his head. "You seemed to handle yourself well."

[x_ginta_x]

The balance of disquietude is one Ginta tries not to jostle too much. Which is why he's not terribly open about how much easier the killing used to be when he considered the targets potential meals. >_>

Ginta nods in response to that. "Good to hear. I'm glad he got involved. Certainly made the whole ordeal go a lot smoother."

That... almost sounds like praise. From Aya-san. He's not sure how to respond to that so his response comes off as a little bit embarrassed. "Heh, uh, thanks. Didn't have a lot of room to mess up, after all. You and everyone else did pretty well too from the looks of things."

[sinofsurviving]

Aya knocks on the door to Kakyou's rooms. If Aya-chan is busy tending to him, he should just go inside. But somehow it doesn't feel right.

[dream_departed]

Aya-chan doesn't bother getting up.

"Come in, Ran."

[sinofsurviving]

Aya steps inside, closing the door behind him.

His sister is in bed with a man. Again. They were going to have to have a Talk.

"How did you know it was me?"

[dream_departed]

"I know your knock. And I knew you would want to check on Kakyou."

[dream_departed]

Kakyou taking out someone's eye? Potentially dead kidnappers. Who cares? Kakyou is back where he belongs.

Aya cheerfully bounces outside to see how the rescuers are doing.

[x_ginta_x]

Ginta had been milling about not far from the door to Kakyou's room. Sure, he knew everyone was alright and the crisis was over, but it still made him feel better to be close by. His face breaks into a wide smile when he sees Aya-chan. "Hey! How is Kakyou? How are you?"

[dream_departed]

Aya-chan reaches out to pull Ginta into a hug.

"Kakyou is sooo very stoned, but happy.

"I'm grateful to have people in my life I can count on."

[x_ginta_x]

Ginta leans into the hug.

"Stoned? I heard he was fairly out of it because of some stuff those guys gave him. Is that the same thing? I'm happy to hear he's doing well, though."

He just smiles at that and attempts a nuzzle. "I'm glad too. And you know... I know it wasn't a great circumstance to be in, but it was still kind of neat seeing everyone working together."
